ASCS Farm Notes

IN3 WHEAT ACREAGE REPORTS: Cards have been mailed to all farm operators and are to be used to report wheat acreage seeded this fall for harvest in 1963. Farmers are reminded that cards should be completed and returned to the county office, even though no wheat has been or will be seeded this fall. This will result in a monetary savings to the taxpayer. A card returned without a signature is of no value, so the card should be checked carefully to see that all required entries have been made, signed and dated before mailing. Any farm operator who did not receive a card is urged to call at the county office and file report of acreage. Also, any operator who did not receive a card for all the \ farms in which he has an interest is asked to report to the county office. Approximately 30 per cent of the cards mailed, have been returned to the office as of this date. Our thanks to those who have already sent in their reports. WHEAT STABILIZATION PROGRAM: Only ten days remain for wheat producers to sign an intention to participate in the 1963 wheat stabilization program. Ths is a voluntary program under which farmers aye able to divert from 20 to 50 per cent of their wheat allotment or small farm base, whichever is the greater and receive diversion payments and also receive 18 cent per bushel additional price support payments, the amount to be determined by using the stablished yield lor the farm. Notices were mailed October 29 to notify the producer of the base and rates of payments. Farmers wth questions should

DETAILS OF THE 1963 FEED GRAIN FROGRAM: The 1963 voluntary feed grain program will generally follow program provisions for 1961 and 1962 crops by giving feed grain producers an opportunity to participate in the program by reducing acreages and to receive payments. As in 1962, the program will apply to corn, grain sorghum and barley. By participating, farmers will receive diversion payments for shifting acreage from production to a conservation use and in addition they will receive price-support payments on the normal production of the 1963 feed grain acreage. They will also be eligible to obtain pricesupport loans and purchase agreements for the actual 1963 feed grain production. Rates for diversion payments are somewhat smaller than in previous years, but this decrease will be more than offset for most farmers by the price support payments. A major change from previous programs, is that to be eligible tor any payments or price support on any of the three feed, grains included in the program, the farmer must divert the total acreage for which he signs up. Farmers may take part in the program by reducing the total of their 1963 feed grain acreage by at least 20 per cent. The maximum diversion is the higher of 40 per cent of the base acreage or 25 acres, provided this is not more than the base acreage. The acreage of the three crops (1959-60 average acreage as adjusted) will be combined into one total feed grain base for each farm, and the farmer may choose to divert one or more of the feed grains with the diversion payment being made at the per-acre rate applicable "to

the particular grain or grains diverted. , . Farmers who have planted their 1963 barley crop this fall will be able to take part in the 1963 program by reducing their feed grain acreage by at least 20 per cent. Price support to participating farmers will be available partly through loans and purchase agreemen t s and partly through the price-support payment. Loans and purchase agreements will reflect a national average price of $1.02 per bushel on corn, $1.62 per cwt. on grain sorghum and 79 cents per bushel on barley. In addition, price support payments will be made on the normal production of the 1963 feed grain acreage at the rate of 18 cents per bushel on corn, *29 cents per cwt. on grain sorghums, and 14 cents per bushel on barley. Oats and rye are not included in the 1963 feed grain program, thus no payment is provided and no reduction in acreage is required for price-support eligibility. As in 1962, the national average supports for these two crops for 1963 will be 62 cents per bushel for oats and $1.02 per bushel for rye. Participating farmers will be able to put all of their 1963 crop corn, grain sorghum, and barley price-support loans and purchase agreements. This is a change from earlier programs, which limited support of the normal production of the 1962 crop. Under the 1963 program, as in 1962, farmers may receive part of their acreage diversion payment at the time they sign up to participate in the program. The signup period for this program will be announced later. 1962 AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM: Farmers who have received approval for cost-share assistance under the 1962 ACP program, are reminded that the report of the completion of the practice and application for payment must be filed in the county office by the final date as listed on their approval notice, in the majority of cases, this is December 15, 1962. If the application is not filed, no cost share payments received by the farmer, even though he has completed the practice. The application must be filed even though a purchase order has been issued and the vendor has been paid direct. Without the application, the farmer will be required to refund the payment already paid to the vendor, or pay the vendor the entire cost of the practice, whichever is applicable. So, it is to the interest of all farmers who have received approval for cost sharing to check with the office to see if further information is needed, and if the practice has not been completed, to make' every effort possible to complete the practice before his deadline date. We do not like to ask for refunds! CHANGES IN FARM FACILTY LOAN PROGRAM: Some modifications have been made in provisions of the farm facility loan program to assure that the program meets presentday farm storage needs more effectively. Under this program, farmers may borrow funds from the government in order to purchase or build needed farm storage. Farm storage is important in providing storage for farm commodities, particularly at harvest time when distribution channels and commercial storage are likely to be at capacity. However, the tremendous increase in both com-mercial-warehouse and farm storage capacity in recent years is lessening the need for continued heavy expansion. The maximum amount to be loaned on new facilities is up to 85 per cent of the out-of-pocket cost of a facility, but not more than 50 cents per bushel of storage capacity. A new provision is that in order to be eligible for a facility loan, the farmer must be eligible for price support for the current year on all price-supported commodities produced on his farm. All loans under the program will be made by the commodity credit corporation through the ASCS county office. —r—-“ In determining the need for farm storage, the farmer’s need will be based dhThe capacity to store 2 years’ production — based on the normal yields on allotted or permitted acreage —for commodities under acreage or production limitations, and on the capacity to store I—year’s—production for other price-supported commodities. Formerly this need was determined on the basis of 1 year’s production plus 1-year carryover for commodities in this area. is - Loans are available on new movable or immovable convention-al-farm-type facilities such as bins, cribs, or buildings, and on new oxygen-free silos or similar facilities. Loans will not be available for immovable facilities to be located on railroad property. Facilities which are purchased as a complete unit must be obtained from vendors who have been approved under a supplier’s agreement, which vendors will enter into with the ASCS county office. As formerly, the farm storage facility loans run for not more than 5 years from the date the loan is disbursed, and they may be repaid in not more than four installments with the first installment due on the first anniversary date of the loan. Interest is charged at a rate of 4 per cent per annum »

on the unpaid balance. Since 1949. when the farm facility loan program was started, almost 166,000 loans have been made on more than 700 million bushels of farm storage capacity. USDA GUIDELINES FOR PILOT RECREATION ENTERPRISES ON FARMS: USDA has announced that limited funds will be allocated to States for cost-share assistance in establishing pilot recreation enterprises on their cropland in 1963. The enterprises, part of the longrange program of land-use adjustment designed to help farmers convert their farms from crop production to grass, trees, wildlife and income-producing recreation uses, were authorized by congress as a part of the food and agriculture act of 1962. Under the program, the government will share with a limited number of farmers the cost of conservation practices needed in order to make these conversions. In addition, adjustment payments will be made to help farmers make the conversion if the land is suited for regular use in the production of crops. Primary responsibility for administering this program has been delegated to USDA’s agricultural stabilization and conservation service in cooperation with other department agencies. The pilot recreation developments may include conversion of all or part of the eligible land on a farm to recreation use. Only farmers or groups of farmers who own or operate cropland which is being devoted to the production of row crops or small grain, and tame hay, will be eligible to participate in the program. Land already in forest trees or shrubs for wildlife or water impoundments will not be eligible, nor will land which has changed ownership in the past two years. Loans for capital facilities such as building and boat docks will be available to qualified participants through USDA’s farmers home administration. In addition, plans for more extensive FHS farm operation, farm ownership, and association loan programs for recreation development on family farms and in rural areas were anounced by the USDA recently. Practices aimed at developing fishing, swimming, boating, hunting reserves, picnicking, camping, and other recreational use of land will be considered in developing the pilot developments in addition to wildlife conservation practices with soil and water benefits. Individual farmers or small groups of farmers who are interested in participating in the pilot program should contact the local ASCS office. A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY: Secretary of agricultural, Orville L. Freeman, recently stated, “These are some of the problems facing the new congress. It will be a congress far different from any which has come to Washington before. The 1960 census saw to that. It will be a congress more heavily weighted by urban and city interests. It will, I am certain, be sympathetic to the needs of agriculture, but agriculture will need to speak with a more unified voice if it is to be heard. If it speaks with a babble of voices, than I feat the congress will be inclined to say that nd one speaks for agriculture andnojhing_ia.nL be done to help those who cannot agree among themselves. Since early this month, we have been hard at work in the department conferring with farm groups and farm leaders. Each day a constant stream of visitors come to meet with me and my staff on farm programs and policies. We are analyzing, discussing and probing many ideas and suggestions with as wide a number of people representing as broad a cross section of agriculture as possible. The department has a very pragmatic attitude towards farm programs We need programs which will improve farm income and reduce surpluses „ and save the taxpayers’ money. If one program will do the job better than another we support the program which will get the best results.” DISAPPOINTING CROP YEAR IN THE SOVIET UNION: Preliminary information points to a disappointing crop year in the Soviet Union and certain other Eastern European countries. The crop outlook for these countries has been described as mediocre.

Yields and production of most major crops in 1982 are expected to be far below average. As far as the Soviets are concerned, this is their fourth consecutive year of disappointing performance. Factors relative to stagnation in the Soviet agriculture production are listed as unfavorable weather, rigid state controls, shortages of capital and insufficient producer incentives. Meat production in Soviet lands might possibly increase somewhat, but will still remain considerably below goals established. Milk production is not expected to increase.

Agricultural research scientists tell us that the other 99 per cent is used for feed and forage and for many researchdeveloped human foods and industrial products. -Fifty-four million (nearly a third of our population) live in what could be called the rural United States? Os this number 15.6 million are farm people. Some of them operate the 1.5 million farms (40 per cent of all farms) that produce 87 per cent of the nation’s farm commodities. Others work the 2.2 million farms that produce only 13 per cent of our crops and livestock. This latter group lacks the land, credit, skills, or other resources needed for efficient farms. YOU CAN SURVIVE A NUCLEAR ATTACK: Plan and work, emergency housekeeping for your family, food and shelter for your livestock. Plan what to do in case of fire — have fire fighting tools and equipment available; plan your communication system for reporting fires; organize your family and neighborhood into fire fighting teams. Study defense problems—you can survive.

Is it possible for a 60 year old man to draw disability benefits? A. Yes. To qualify for disability benefnts, you must have worked at least 5 of the 10 years proceeding the onset of your impairment and your condition must be severe enough to prevent you from engaging in “any substantially gainful activity for a long or indefinite period of time.” Q. Should a person over age 65 file for benefits even if he is still working full time? A. Yes. Because of recent changes in the retirement test everyone should file at age 65. Q. Why is my benefit combined with my husband’s benefit in one check? A. Because this procedure saves the government money. There are over 16 million persons receiving benefits. Combining benefnts in one check saves the government a considerable amount of money each month. Q. My husband is drawing disability benefits. I am 54 years old. Could I receive wife’s benefits? A. No. A wife is not eligible until the normal retirement age of 62. Q. Can a widow get monthly benefits from her deceased husband if they were not living together in the same household at the time of his death? A. Yes. The “living with” requirement applies only to the lumpsum death benefit. Q. I have lost the use of both my legs, however I earn S3OOO a year doing bench work. Do I qualify for disability? A. No. If you are able to continue working at your presentsal- ‘ ary it would have to be considered “gainful work”. For further information contact your local social security office or ask for pamphlet 29. Q. I am 68 years old and receive social security benefits each month. I took a part time job last week and my boss deducted the social security (F. I. C. A.) tax from my wages. I told him this was not right. Who is correct? A. Your boss is correct. If you are working in covered employment, the law requires the tax be deducted regardless of your age or benefit status.

Few people have been so interested in internal Indian affairs as to remember that at one time the leaders of the Moslem group in British India were in the same political party with Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohandus K. Gandhi, the Congress party. In the 1920’5, this party, then illegal, was a truly all-lndia party. But the Moslems were quite suspicious of the Hindu majority. I'M B finally led to a split, when the Hindu majority reported out a plan of self-government which did not seem to give the Moslem minorities any civil rights protection. Also, British India never actually contained all of the sub-continent; nearly 600 independent, partially independent and semi-independent rulers kept the princely states. When freedom came to India, it brought chaos. The Moslems announced they would revolt rather than be subjects in a Hindu India. They wanted a separate government. Millions of Hindus lived in Moslem areas; millions of Mohammedans lived in Hindu areas. As freedom came, Moselms tried to get into their own areas, and Hindus left for Hindu sections. Those that didn’t were murdered, vilified, raped, tortured, etc., by their opposites in one of the bitterest hate-fests in world history. The brutal murder of the Mohatma, Gandhi, brought the people slowly to their senses, and mayhem stopped. The princely states were allowed to choose whether they would join India or Pakistan. But in Kashmir, the Prince was Hindu, and 70% of his subjects were Moslem. Moslem tribes invaded and tried to force the issue: India retaliated. Bitterness and war developed and has never actually terimated, an uneasy UN tfttce being the present condition, with Indian troops holding two-thirds of the northern mountain area, and Pakistan, one - third. And of course, the Chinese now hold most of Ladakh, about 14,000 square nHles. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.
